Avery Brewing's The Reverend Belgian Quad Clone Recipe

While browsing Craft Beer and Brewing, I noticed they'd posted a clone recipe for Avery Brewing's "The Reverend" Belgian Quad. This is one of my wife's and my favorite beers, so naturally I jumped at the chance to capture the recipe here for later use.

Note: This recipe differs from the way it's published on Craft Beer & Brewing because I've adjusted it for my own brewhouse environment with The Grainfather. Refer to the link above if you want the "official" recipe.

Finished kettle volume should be 6.4 gallons at 1.093 SG or 23.1 Brix.

Fermentation

Chill the wort to 68F and pitch the yeast. Hold the temp at 68F for the first half of fermentation, then allow the temperature to rise as high as possible to promote attenuation. After pumping through the counter flow chiller and accounting for trub in the kettle, the volume in the fermenter should be approximately 5.5 gallons.
